Edward VIII was king for less than a year in 1936 before abdicating to marry divorcee Wallis Simpson. Due to his short reign, most of the coins that were produced upon his accession were never released for circulation but a set of stamps was produced as a temporary ‘Accession’ issue in the expectation of a permanent issue following his coronation which never happened. Four values of the ‘Accession’ stamp set were issued, the ½d green, 1½d brown, 2½d blue and 1d red. After Edward VIII’s abdication, there was a delay in producing stamps for the new monarch, King George VI so Edward VIII’s stamps remained on sale for some time and many were saved for commemorative purposes by the public due to his abdication. We have these sets of four unused, mint stamps available which have very simple designs in vibrant colours and are very affordable compared to the coins from his reign.
